It doesn't take an historian to do the date math necessary to come to the conclusion that InvertedMind's 27th birthday was so miserable that it violated the laws of physics (i.e., it both sucked and blew at the same time).  If you don't know why, just go read the posts between July 31st and September 30th of 2007 — it will become quite obvious.

Keeping that in mind, and not being one to pass up a chance to Party Again Before I'm 30™, I'm getting together with some neighbors with whom I share August, and we're having a barbecue.  While I can't invite all of you (I may not have a very large readership, but it's big enough to render my back yard and wallet both useless if I was to attempt to house all of you), I selfishly encourage you to either send me well-wishes on August 14th, or — better yet, for me at least — send me gifts.  I like gifts.  A lot.

To that end, I have a recommendation: I would greatly appreciate it if someone would send me 1,400 hours of entertainment in MP3 format on 21 CDs — the entire series of CBS Radio Mystery Theater, purchasable for a mere $49.99.  I found a number of these episodes (fewer than two percent, I would wager) via LimeWire before I knew the collection was for sale.  Seeing as how I've downloaded enough music in my life to keep me in jail until I've returned to dust I don't encourage breaking the law, I'd like to eliminate a small section of my eventual incarceration make good on my downloads.

Your cooperation on this matter is greatly appreciated.
